As much as it would please Heat fans, the chances of a reunion with point guard Goran Dragic in Miami, on the heels of the team bringing back Josh Richardson this summer, remain pretty slim. In fact, if Miami were to scrap its plans to sign a developmental player with its 14th, and likely final, roster spot, there’s a stronger chance they could look at former star point guard John Wall than another go-round with Dragic.
That’s the word from longtime Heat beat writer Ira Winderman, who answered a mailbag question on the Dragic topic by pointing out, significantly, that Dragic is a 37-year-old point guard, and the Heat have one of those on hand already.
“For now, it appears that Josh Richardson will serve as point guard behind Kyle Lowry,” Winderman wrote. “And if Kyle does not start, I’m not sure a team can carry both a pair of 37-year-old point guards in reserve in Lowry and Dragic. Now, if Lowry is dealt, that would change to calculus. So your hope might be with a waiting game rather than a move to Goran in the short run. And even then, if the Heat do look for experience, there also is John Wall still out there.”
